    There must be conference clubs with a better pitch draining system.

    Bet the Blackpool fans are delighted, treck all the way over the Pennines to find that the game is probably going to be off - the forecast is for steady rain all afternoon so if its a swamp now its not going to get any better cant see them playing especially as their website says "should the game go ahead" -not a sign of confidence is it

    Its not that the pitch doesn't drain, the river that runs past hillsbro rises and the pitch gets waterlogged, they have the same problem down the road at owlerton.

    The river only affects the pitch in extreme circumstances, I.e. When it bursts it's banks. It's not at that level yet. It is down to poor drainage.
